Abstract
A hydraulic fluid container (10) for a vehicle hydraulic brake system comprises at least one connecting sleeve (14), in which a valve member (20) is displaceably guided. The valve member (20) in a first position, into which it is spring-biased, blocks the connecting sleeve (14) and in a second position clears the connecting sleeve (14). On its circumferential surface the valve member (20) is provided with at least one radially elastic detent element (32; 32′). The connecting sleeve (14) in its inner side wall (36) has at least one recess, into which the detent element (32; 32′) latches during introduction of the valve member (20) into the connecting sleeve (14) and which in relation to the direction of displacement of the valve member (20) forms a stop, which defines the first position of the valve member (20).
